What is Trance Blues?

Trance Blues is a rare Blues subgenre that combines Blues music with electronic, repetitive elements like drum machines, loops and samples. Otis Taylor, a Colorado native, pioneered trance Blues by combining Blues with Appalachian country music and psychedelic rock. Blues music is traditionally known for its emotive lyrics, which often express melancholy and struggle. Trance Blues uses repetitive chords to create a hypnotic effect. Combine the two and be transported deep into the sounds and stories of the songs.

What does Trance Blues have to do with There With Care?
